Lesson 9. Classes and Objects
So far you have explored the structure of a simple program that starts execution at main() and enables you to declare local and global variables and constants and branch your execution logic into function modules that can take parameters and return values.

In this lesson, you will learn
• What classes are
• How classes help you consolidate data with methods (akin to functions) that work on them
• About constructors, copy constructors, and destructors
• How C++11 helps improve performance via the move constructor
• Object-oriented concepts ...
